UW Seattle MSW Fall 2020

[eimaisophie]

Submitted my application in early December (clinical route) and still haven't heard anything! sigh 

I am maybe thinking it's because I submitted my fafsa kinda late? but fafsa deadline is until june so I thought I would be okay... I am not sure now though. I turned it in last week and just got an email that it was processed successfully.

It's literally the last day of the month... I am just getting ready to get rejected at this point ?

I emailed them last week and here is what they replied:

 

Thank you for your email, we are still working on decisions and are hoping to have all notifications out in the next week or two. You will be receiving an email from sswapp@uw.edu with either an offer of admission or a denial. 

 

Let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.

 

TWO MORE WEEKS????

Yes I am ? they didn’t get back to me until this past Monday with that response. I applied for EDP back in early February so I’m not sure if it’s because of that. I also noticed on my application that it had a due date of March 2. ?

Thank you, Anggarc and eimaisophie for your posts. Your comments have calmed me the past couple days in a sense that I don't feel alone in this! I have also applied to the MSW EDP for Fall 2020, and have not heard anything. I applied back in January, and applied for FAFSA shortly after. I've emailed them as well to see if there are any updates or reasons for delays. I'm wondering if the transition to working off campus due to COVID-19 may have set some things back. I wish to you all waiting to hear back the best of luck and some good news to your day as we wait for the next couple of weeks!

Same. Super sucks. I'm going to make it work any way, since technically tuition is 33k and not the full loan amount that they offered me, and I think I can make that work ... somehow. But yeah, super lame.

Did anyone accept there scholarship money? I got an email that the deadline was April 15th but that they know things are crazy and just wanted to know if I was going to accept it or not. 

 

I haven't even decided if I am going to attend b/c I'm still waiting to hear back from other schools. What should I do??

I got the same email. The deadline to accept or decline UW offer is may 15 I believe? So I think for now I personally would just accept if you’re still deciding, and if you don’t end up enrolling by the 15th next month then that’s that. Either that or explain to them how you’re waiting for other schools and you’d rather wait to accept the scholarship until you’ve decided on attending, and see if they’ll grant an extension. 
 

also for anyone that was going to appeal their aid package with other competing offers- I tried this and they could not match my scholarship. They did offer me 6k of work study which I was not offered initially.

Thank you for replying! I think I'll do that. And also thank you for trying to appeal their package. I was going to do the same, but heard responses from others that UWashington is very stingy with aid. Someone who goes there rn told me that, " The school is charging everyone full tuition and fees even though facilities are all closed. The support within the school is also really hard to navigate."

This was part of the reason I turned down UW (in addition to offering the smallest financial aid package and spotty contact with advisors) Due to my advanced standing placement I needed to submit my field application the first week of April. To gain access to their bank of agencies I needed to accept the offer of admission and pay the enrollment $250 fee. It felt very weird to me as no other school I was dealing with re: advanced standing placements was withholding access to agency lists. UW also gave the vibe of somewhat pressuring me to accept admission before the April 15th date in order to not be behind on receiving a field placement.

One school even emailed me and said they were waiving enrollment fees due to the virus and were extending the timeline to accept financial aid/admission.

Hey! I've confirmed for the Fall, but it's tentative if I'm going. Feel free to message me.  

[Gelibutter]

Does anyone know if fall will be online or in person? They have stated that they really want to do in person, but given everything that is happening, there could be a possiblity for online classes in the Fall. I wonder when they will let us know. Anyone else have a clue?
